This is based on a true story about a man who spent much time in a british prison back in the '60s, '70s and '80s for attempting to kill a policeman. I never knew this man, but I dated his daughter for quite a while. Unfortunately I did not learn soon enough that attempted murder ran in the family because that relationship almost killed me!

Home Again
Picture perfect like the one on the postcard.
The one you sent to me from the prison yard.
It’s so good to be home again.
It’s so good to be home, home again.
Breathe that stale air into my lungs.
Where nothing has changed at all since the day I got sprung.
It’s so good to be home again.
It’s so good to be with bad friends.
It’s so good to be home, home again.
I traded my nine to five for five to nine.
I gave up punching clocks now I’m just doing time.
I’ve seen the pros and cons, now I’m where I belong.
I’ve made my decision, you’ve got your prison
And I’ve got mine.
“The Birdman of Alcatraz” on my stolen t.v.
Made me so homesick and I slugged the cop on the beat!
It’s so good to be home again.
It’s so good to be with bad friends.
It’s so good to be home, home again...
